The start of 2025 has already proven to be a big year for restaurants in Oregon. With spots like Hayward in McMinnville and Akadi in Portland appearing on USA TODAY’s 2025 Restaurants of the Year list, it’s no wonder other establishments in Oregon’s food scene are being recognized.
Food Network, a channel and digital platform known for food-based programming, recipes and restaurant recommendations, recently recognized the Tillamook Creamery on the Oregon Coast on their list of most charming small-town restaurants in every state.
“While many people believe that you have to travel to other countries or big cities to experience the best parts of life, sometimes it’s those small towns that truly bring the charm and the must-have dishes that you’ll be raving about for years to come,” wrote Ni’Kesia Pannell for Food Network.
The Tillamook Creamery was named the most charming small-town restaurant in Oregon by Food Network.
